Lyrics

We arm the arms of never understanding
You never know exactly how I feel
And I look so uncomfortable, it's got my natural state
But it's all cause of a feeling, it's time to raise the stakes
Fiction
I don't mind the feeling of confliction
But no one seems but I will feel some friction
It happens in real life
It happens in real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
My lover looks at me and poses ignorance
I just don't know how you're supposed to feel
I'm so tired to procrastination, I've had it up to here
It's all too quiet on the surface, I just have to interfere
Fiction
I don't mind the feeling of confliction
But no one sees but I will feel some friction
It happens in real life
It happens in real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
Conclusion never came of any incident
And frankly I'm glad you don't agree
I don't want to have an outcome or summarize the point
Because real life is awkward and I have to disappoint
Fiction
I don't mind the feeling of confliction
But no one sees but I will feel some friction
It happens in real life
It happens in real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
In real life
